Well yeah something like this can be done, but what is the missing piece is where the IRQ domain actually gets created, i.e where this new version of platform_msi_create_device_domain() is called. That is the only piece that is currently done in the IOMMU driver only for DSA mdev. Not that all devices need to do it this way.. do you have suggestions as to where you want to call this function?
